All about 'The Dutch Giant' Olivier Richters
Olivier Richters is a 34-year-old Dutch bodybuilder and actor. He has been featured in multiple movies including Black Widow (2021), Ravers (2018), Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023), The King’s Man (2021), The Electrical Life of Louis Wain (2021), and more.
He also holds the record for tallest professional bodybuilder since 2021, because of which he is also referred to as 'The Dutch Giant.'
In season three of Reacher, he plays the role of a deranged bodybuilder named Paulie, who saves Beck and his family. In the books, Paulie is described as someone very massive.
Here is an official synopsis of the book Persuader by Lee Child, in which the character of Paulie (played by Olivier Richters) has a very significant and impactful role.
“Set in the coastal region of Maine, the story sends Reacher (Ritchson) undercover in the castle lair of the mysterious Zachary Beck (Anthony Michael Hall), whose son is almost kidnapped. Beck lives in fear of his own employers, and relies on bodyguards to keep his family safe.”
The author Lee Child described the character of Paulie in his book as—
"A very big guy. I stand six feet five inches tall and I have to center myself quite carefully to walk through a standard thirty-inch doorway. This guy was at least six inches taller than me and probably ten inches wider across the shoulders. He probably outweighed me by two hundred pounds. Maybe by more.”
Olivier's physique matches the description of Paulie in the book as he weighs a massive 350 lbs and has a height of 7’2”. He makes the perfect fit for playing the bodybuilder on the small screens.
